60 Mins. interviews Obama, still doesn’t ask a tough question
Was Steve Kroft auditioning for Entertainment Tonight?
I don’t care about Obama’s children—I care about what he’s going to do as president. When did these family issues become front and center issues for the mainstream medium?
You’re CBS. You’re granted the first interview with the President-Elect of the United States of America. Are you going to ask him about a rumored policy toward Israel moving to pre-1967 borders or spend ten minutes asking Obama about about getting a dog. (ANSWER: You spend ten minutes about getting a dog.)
Kroft then smiled and went: “Last question—what about a college football playoff.” HELLO STEVE KROFT??? Israel? You have one last question and you ask the President-Elect about sports—something totally irrelevant to his new job?
No questions about Rahm Emmanuel, his new chief of staff.
No questions about compulsory “civil service” for kids. It was on his President-Elect website, then taken down.
No questions about “spread the wealth.”
No questions about ACORN.
No questions about the Fairness Doctrine.
No questions about Rev. Wright and who his new spiritual mentor will be.
Imagine this was CNBC and a CEO of a company was being interviewed—and the only questions were about his kids, his mother-in-law, getting a family dog, and college football.
CBS—go out of business now!
